September
30, 2008 Airplay, "Album of the Week" down under, and a couple more reviews. FM 94.1, Full Throttle Rock Radio, based in Victoria, Australia, selected AWAKEN as "album of the week" for the week of September 12th! They've been giving generous airplay to Awaken (title track), Forever, and Touch, for which we are extremely grateful. Bodragaz has also received recent internet airplay on Progulus Radio, as well as the "ProgRoots" show of The Dividing Line podcast. We definitely appreciate every bit of it! A couple more reviews (paraphrased): Shapeless Zine (Italy)."...it would be too simplistic (to categorize the music) because their style is sufficiently nuanced. ...the sound is winning. " (translated online from Italian @ Google Translator) Score: 7 / 10 Colorado Music Buzz (USA - CO) "...Awaken proves this thinking-big band is difficult to pigeonhole: They are not a rock-rock band, but neither are they strictly metal. However you define them, they are a tight foursome who maintain their musicality." Score: 4 / 5
August
13, 2008 Big thanks to all our listeners and fans in Europe and South America - you rock! Progressive Rock Brasil (Brazil) "...a true excursion into the best world of Melodic Metal, Heavy Metal and Prog Metal styles. Brilliant and indispensable work, highly recommendable. Deserves the maximum rating." Metal To Infinity (Belgium) "...Awaken is a top notch product from opener and title track 'Awaken' until final track 'Dream'. This four piece surprised me all the way, and it's really impossible to point out which tracks are the best." Score: 92 / 100 Metal Zone (Greece) "...contains certain very good moments and can capture the listener without big effort. What dominates everywhere is the beautiful atmosphere but also a lot of alternations of sentiments" (translated from Greek online @ Babelfish) Score: 70% Rock Report (Belgium) "A lot of bands sound like blueprints of their idols, but that’s not the case with this foursome, (which) provides us with a rather groovy and contemporary variant of our beloved genre. Not bad at all!" Score 4 / 6 stars Strutter
Zine (Netherlands) "...very
impressive. The sound and production is huge... The
choruses are very melodic and (instrumentally) it goes
way up to perfection. ...highly recommended to both Prog
Metal and Melodic Hard Rock fans!" In other news, we've hit a new high on Rhapsody's charts.. #55, on July 13th! Still jumping around the top 100... #68 today. Thanks again for listening!
